LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

History:

 

Entrepreneurship and Strategic Alliances have been the hallmark of company’s progress.

 
1995: The company entered into license agreement with Creative Pultrusions, Inc., USA for acquiring state-of-the-art pultrusion technology. Today, with over 7 pultrusion lines of different capacities, the company is the largest pultruder in the region.

 

2003: Fibergrate Composite Structures, Inc., USA identified the company as their manufacturing partners, to manufacture and offer world class pultruded and molded grating products. Fibergrate is a part of StonCor Group, Inc., USA which functions under the umbrella of the huge multi-billion dollar, multi-locational RPM Group, USA.

 

2004: Looking at the present and future requirements, the company has gone for backward integration with a specialized division to manufacture hi-tech phenolic resins for the composites industry. Proven world class technology has been acquired from Georgia Pacific Resins, Inc., USA to manufacture this polymer. Georgia Pacific Resins, Inc. is a global leader in a variety of building products, paper products, industrial and specialty chemicals.

 

Performance

The Company's performance during the year under report has been impressive with total income registering a quantum leap of 142% from Rs. 57902.800 Millions to Rs. 1399.811 Millions. The profit before tax was Rs. 202.118 Millions as compared to Rs. 52.629 Millions in previous year; and the net profit increased from Rs. 45.304 Millions to Rs. 186.439 Millions. 

The Management Discussion and Analysis section of this report throws more light on various operational and business aspects of the Company for the year ended 31st March 2007. 

Management Discussion and Analysis: 

Overview: 
 
The Country's overall growth of GDP during 2006-2007 has been pegged at 9% plus, whereas overall industrial growth has been 11.5% during 2006-2007 as compared to 8.2% in previous year. The percentage share of Manufacturing Industry in the GDP growth remained at about 15.5%. Strong consumption growth coupled with spurt in exports and investments activities has helped India to register double-digit industrial growth in financial year 2006-2007. Riding on this momentum of growth, the Company has achieved excellent performance with income and profits touching new heights. 

Industry Structure and Developments: 

The company is operating in the business of manufacture and export of Fiberglass Reinforced Polymer Composites (FRP) and Speciality Resins. The Company caters to the needs of diverse industries like wind energy, oil and gas, chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, transport, power generation, building & construction etc. 

The Composite growth in last three years has been exponential in India. The main attribute for this growth is the fact that India is fast emerging as the engineering and technology hub for outsourcing. Coupled with this, the demand for new generation materials like FRP Composites is gaining wider acceptance from end user industries. The major markets for the continued growth of Composites will be Infrastructure, Mass Transport, Automotive, Wind energy and Corrosion Industries. 

Carbon Fibre: The major markets for Carbon Fibre is in the advanced Composite applications like Hydrocarbon, Transport and Aerospace industry The demand for Carbon Fibre is increasing and currently is in short supply. The Company has taken a step forward in becoming self sufficient to meet the future demand for high end Composites with plans to set up manufacturing facility for Carbon Fibres. 

Joint Venture: 

During the year, the Company formed a joint venture entity (viz., Georgia Pacific Kemrock International Private Limited) with Georgia Pacific Resins Inc., of USA (now known as 'GP Chemicals Equity LLC') for the marketing of speciality resins in India and abroad. The Directors look forward to better business generation and sustained growth form the new joint venture. 

Technology Tie-up: 

In April, 2007, the Company reached a technical knowhow agreement with the National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL), a constituent of Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Bangalore. Under the agreement, the Company will produce and commercialize Carbon Fibre with the know-how developed by NAL. Carbon Fibre Technology is a high end technology enabling manufacture of strategic Composite materials with wide ranging applications. With this development, the Company's present range of Reinforced Polymer Composites will be further extended with these high end product applications finding place in many end use industries. This would have a positive impact on the growth and business of the Company. 

Expansion of Epoxy Resins Plant: 

The first phase of expansion of Epoxy Resins Plant at the site was successfully accomplished during the year and plant was commissioned and made operational thereby adding new product to the existing range of products. 

Financial Performance with respect to Operational Performance: 

The Company has experienced strong growth in revenues and profits in the year.

Despite operating in a challenging environment, the Company achieved its highest ever sales and profitability during the year under report. The Net Sales increased by 140.79% from Rs.578.591 Millions in 2005-2006 to Rs.1393.207 Millions in 2006-2007. The profit after tax improved to Rs.189.289 Millions as against Rs. 47.885 Millions in the immediately preceding year showing an increase of 295.30%. 

During the year, the Company made capital expenditure of about Rs. 877.764 Millions, which was funded partly form increased long-term borrowing and balance from internal generations. The operating profit (PBIDT) increased from Rs. 151.151 Millions to Rs. 411.5.690 Millions showing an increase of 172.29%. 

Earning per share for the year was Rs. 26.65 per share versus Rs. 7.10 per share in previous year. 
 
Opportunities and Business Outlook: 

India is becoming a base for export of composites with an estimated growth rate of about 25% through 2010 on account of low labour cost and good Engineering and Design Skills available locally. 

The Company always endeavours to provide customers total Composite solutions in order to create value addition as well as continue to explore new products and processes that will provide products of international standards. 

A major challenge in the future for the Company is to increase awareness among designers, industrial professionals and the users about the advantages and usage of composite materials and new application areas. On this path, the Company is actively exploring various options of developing high end speciality products with new applications. 

The long-term outlook for the Reinforced Polymer Composites business remains robust. On the demand front, the global Reinforced Polymer Composites consumption has been growing over the past few years fuelled by an increasing preference for advanced composite materials. India is among the emerging markets for the outstanding growth potential in coming years in areas like Infrastructure, Wind energy, Mass Transport, Petrochemicals and Building Products. Based on the current trends, the FRP Industry is estimated to grow at 25% annually in the coming years. 

Segment-wise and Product-wise Performance: 

As the Company is primarily engaged in the manufacture of Fiberglass Reinforced Polymer Composites (FRP) and Resins products and as these products find markets domestically and internationally, the Company is considered to be operating in two different product segments as well as geographical market segments i.e., domestic and export. 

On the export front, the Company's FRP products find major markets in U.S.A. and Europe, while the exports for Resins, compared to previous year, have found increasing markets in USA in addition to the existing markets in SAARC countries and the Middle East countries. 

Threat and Risk Concerns: 

The Industry is facing following major threats and challenges: 

i. The recent strengthening of the Indian Rupee against US Dollar poses a continuing risk of appreciation in the value of Indian Rupee against US Dollar. This can adversely impact the export realization thereby affecting profitability of the Company. 

ii. Continuing volatility in raw material prices due to spike in international crude oil prices. 

iii. Rising interest rates. 

iv. Changes in the Government policies of foreign countries like China, Korea, Taiwan etc., may affect the supply and prices of key raw materials. 

The company’s fixed assets of important value includes Vehicles, land & building, machinery and office equipments.
